DURBAN - KwaZulu-Natal police have raced to the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga, Durban, where a bomb was allegedly discovered at a Woolworths store on Saturday.

The discovery of the bomb comes just a day after another bomb was discovered at a Woolies store at the Pavillion and also at Gateway on the same day.

By Friday, police were still probing alleged attacks at Woolworths and Gateway which had left staff and customers rattled, the Daily News reported on Friday.

People were evacuated from the store.

Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane confirmed police had discovered a suspicious device at the mall on Saturday. "The device was taken away by our Explosive Unit for further investigation. A case in terms of Explosive Act has been opened at Durban North police station for further investigation," he said.

Probably this. Set off small devices in a "controversial" store like woolies - so the general populace thinks it has something to do with the boycotts, and pay less heed.

Perhaps a form of UAT testing, confirming that the signal to detonate penetrates the walls as expected. Or it could be a test of the metal detector sensitivity to picking up the devices that they want to use. Could be combination of all three.

This is worrying. Our security is really lax even at places that are supposed to be high security can't imagine how a mere mall or store would be expected to deal with something like this. The best defence is obviously intelligence who are also just as useless and too busy fighting political battles instead of protecting the country.
